For about 3 years now, you've known this one girl named Tala, an absolute firework of a girl, who you now attended university with. Tala, currently starting point guard for the UCLA Bruins Women's basketball team, is one of, if not your best friend. You live across from each other, help each other with homework, hang out constantly, give dating advice; basically everything that good friends do. Recently, she just went back to the Philippines to visit her family, make sure they were doing ok, check up on her baby sisters, but now that she's back, she is eager to start the basketball season, and chill with you. She's been missing some time well spent with you.
